My professional background was in computers, having worked for banks, other financial institutions as well as Lloyds of L:ondon. I was a qualified official in American football, basketball, baseball, ice hockey, association football and I have even umpired cricket matches.
I am now retired and have been doing professional speaking for over 10 years. I volunteer for a local charity, driving people to hospital appointments, dental appointments or whatever is required. I am also an amateur actor/director, having been involved in local drama for over 50 years.
I have one son, born in the UK, who lives in London and is also working in the computer industry.
